Celestial Influences and Spiritual Protection
Solar Eclipse: A Divine Sign, Not a Superstition
The astronomical events that occur in the universe are not merely scientific movements; rather, they are signs of Divine power meant to awaken humanity from negligence. A solar eclipse is one of these signs. When daylight temporarily dims due to the partial covering of the sun, it is not meant to create fear, but to inspire reflection, awareness, and a return toward Allah.
In Islamic teachings, a solar eclipse is neither considered bad luck nor associated with the death or birth of any individual. Instead, it is described as a manifestation of Allah Almighty’s power. The partial solar eclipse occurring on 17 February holds importance both spiritually and astrologically.
Spiritually, this eclipse is a time for repentance, seeking forgiveness, and sincere supplication. Astrologically, it influences different zodiac signs in different ways. Since the sun symbolizes strength, authority, health, fatherhood, governance, and outward life, a solar eclipse can cause temporary fluctuations in these areas.
Scholars explain that the effects of a solar eclipse do not appear instantly but unfold gradually. If a person adopts spiritual remedies in time, negative effects can be reduced or even eliminated. This is why religious scholars emphasize Salat-ul-Kusoof, charity, and remembrance of Divine Names during an eclipse.
